Theresa May has today announced her plans for a snap General Election to take place on June 8th.

Responding, Tim Farron said:

“This election is your chance to change the direction of our country. If you want to avoid a disastrous Hard Brexit. If you want to keep Britain in the Single Market. If you want a Britain that is open, tolerant and united, this is your chance. Only the Liberal Democrats can prevent a Conservative majority.”

Already in the first 20 minutes since her announcement, more than 500 people have joined the Liberal Democrats.
